Adelaide United and Western Sydney Wanderers may have seen their semi-final hopes end last weekend but they will take much from this season having knocked off some of the competitions best over the best two months.

However the wooden spoon is still to be decided with the pair, along with Brisbane Roar, vying in a three-way contest to avoid the unwanted title.

While these two may not have the star power of some of the other teams, few can surpass either side for determination and sheer will to win.

Adelaide, who sit two points clear of the visitors, are again set to field their key personnel for the penultimate match of the season.

It will also be a final chance for local fans this season to see imported stars Katrine Pederson and Lisa-Marie Woods in action.

Should Adelaide win this one it would potentially leave the Wanderers facing Brisbane Roar in an unlikely battle to avoid bottom spot in the final round.

The Wanderers head to Adelaide with just one change to their squad, and it is an important one, with American midfielder Kendall Johnson returning to action following illness.

It will be the final home outing of the season for Ross Aloisi’s proud side, and an open contest seems in store for ABC TV viewers and local fans alike.
